Correct answer: Remove your shoes.

I've found it's mostly American households that almost always keep their shoes on. At least thats what I noticed when living there. In Canada, most of us always remove our footwear before entering our own, or someone else's, home

Saba, Those two things are not related. The Japanese value cleanliness as one of their most important cultural norms. Removing your shoes, prevents any dirt, germs, and other stuff from getting in your home.

Nobody in Hawaii wears shoes indoor also. A lot of slippers outside means someone's having a party! :)

Darnell Smith, why not hug friends, drink beer, bow to the building...then your shoes fall off. never entering the sacred domain with your shoes on. works for me!

I have flat feet and walking bare foot, or in shoes without arch support, is what gave me plantars fasciitis. Now I can never walk bare foot again, unless I want to be in serious pain.

I love China and Japan and They have that in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese Homes that you have to take off your shoes before going inside their houses and when Me and My Korean Boyfriend and Husband have a house we’re going to ask our guests to take off their shoes before they come inside our house
